The US has signalled it will maintain a military presence in Poland despite emerging tensions over Ukraine, following a meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda.
The White House wrote on X that Trump had “reaffirmed” the close alliance between Warsaw and Washington following a short meeting between the two leaders in Maryland on Saturday.
The US president also praised Poland for its “commitment to increase their military spending”. The central European country has earmarked 4.7 per cent of its GDP on defence — the highest level within Nato, but still shy of the 5 per cent target that Trump wants members to hit.
